V. Holy et al., EFFECT OF INTERFACIAL-ROUGHNESS REPLICATION ON THE DIFFUSE-X-RAY REFLECTION FROM PERIODICAL MULTILAYERS, Applied physics A: Materials science & processing, 60(1), 1995, pp. 93-96
The correlation of roughness profiles of different interfaces in a per
iodical multilayer affects the reciprocal-space distribution of the di
ffusely reflected X-ray intensity. This distribution has been calculat
ed by means of the Distorted-Wave Born Approximation (DWBA) method and
compared with the results of X-ray reflectometry on periodical metall
ic multilayers, It has been shown that the measurement of the reciproc
al-space distribution of diffusely scattered intensity is a suitable n
on-destructive method to investigate the roughness replication in mult
ilayers.
